Fat Pigs

Well not fat exactly. But I certainly have two fast growing pigs on the Farmy.

At least we have a date for Poppy.  July 3rd. fat-pigs-027

She is rounder.  Pulling in before the hips. fat-pigs-028

And her udder is showing signs of dropping (I think).

But for Tima we have no dates and a lot of wishful thinking.

She is such a tired girl and I feel no movement in there.  For no apparent reason I am guessing her due date might be the 15th of this month.

Speaking of movement last night we heard a turkey (or peachick) egg peeping. Fede said that when he rolled them the night before last he heard it too. Which is an awfully long time for a chick to be peeping without breaking out. I have increased the humidity and lowered the temperature. Now we will hope for the best. It is not uncommon for peachicks to hatch at 26 days or for turkeys to hatch early – so we will see.

Here is our favourite Big Fat Pig. Sheila. Not pregnant thankfully. But certainly big and beautiful.

More thunder and lightening last night but no rain to speak of. Just enough noise to send Boo scurrying through the house, head down – bum up,  in search of a deep wardrobe to hide in.

I hope you have a lovely day!

Your friend on the farmy,

  1. Happy hatching! – I’m looking forward to your post tomorrow 🙂 – there must be a surprise (one at the least).
    Have a lovely afternoon…

  2. Maybe tomorrow weI’ll find what we’re after.
    With you on the new day we’ll share hints of laughter
    As we learn to discern peachicks from the turkeys…

    Help! I need Viv to finish this epic! 🙂

  3. Tima’s lunch counter is far more prominent than it used to be. Don’t worry too much about the eggs. They peep before they pip. You’ll see a little hole in the egg before too long, and from there, it can be an additional 24 hours before the chick has emerged.

  4. Great for once to arrive late: wonderful about the peachicks . . . daresay the rest should also put in their appearance within the next day! But I agree with Boo: your skies do not attract me at all and I hope any cupboard Boo would find to hide in would be large enough for us to cuddle together. Oh, I have been on Google for just over seven years: my Google page has a large ‘Happy Birthday Eha’ today the way wellknown people usually ‘get it’ : is that usual should anyone still be reading? Sure has not happened to me before 🙂 ! Big lark!!!!
